JOHNSON'S TURN: Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson is expected to jump into the 2012 presidential race in Concord, N.H., this morning. AP previews the libertarian's next move: "Johnson, a Republican who served as governor from 1995 through 2003, is expected to announce his campaign on the Statehouse steps Thursday morning. On Saturday, he plans to ski Tuckerman Ravine on New Hampshire's Mount Washington, which attracts thrill-seekers each spring with snow depths of up to 75 feet." http://bit.ly/ePu9D6

WINNING - INDIANAPOLIS EDITION - Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels has added one more accomplishment to his sterling conservative record, signing a law limiting teachers' union contracts as part of his larger push for education reform. The Evansville Courier and Press: "Contracts between teachers' unions and their school corporations would be limited to just wages and benefits under a measure Daniels signed into law Wednesday afternoon. Senate Enrolled Act 575 would bar teachers from having input on education policies such as class size, as well as hiring, firing and layoff policies ... Daniels has also pushed for the expansion of charter schools and a new private school voucher program, and both proposals are on track to win legislative approval before the April 29 end of the session." http://bit.ly/getNGa

You sound like a respectable candidate for President. You have one very big problem. You refuse to acknowledge that a baby is not a human being until he is viable. This means until he is capable of living on his own. So it gives me pause that you may shrug at the notion that partial birth abortions are okay, because it falls under a woman's right to choose. Do I have this right? First, you already have many parents against your notion that children that were premature were not really a human. Second, this puts you in the category that also shrugs at the vile partial birth abortion atrocities because some woman chose to terminate a normal birth, and with her choice she ended an otherwise normal birth. Have you really thought this through? I suggest you don't waste your time and money running for a lost cause.
